PEN-PALS! Have you had a positive experience writing an inmate on our website? Do you have a webcam? Would you be willing to upload a video to YouTube that we could use as a video testimonial? If so, please upload the video here, and send us the link here. Thank you!

I am incarcerated in TDCJ, charged with burglary of a habitation. 10 years is the sentence that they gave me. I’ve got 5 years on it as of right now, May 3016, and hoping to make parole soon. This is the second time that I’ve been to the penitentiary. The first time was in 2010 for theft. I did 11 months on a 2 year sentence before I got out on parole. When a person is on parole he is not allowed to leave the state (for me, that will be Texas), unless he gets permission for his parole officer. # work purposes. I’m determined to stay out of jail this time around. There will be no more coming back for me. I’ll not allow myself to live the lifestyle that got me in here, anymore and I owe it to more people than myself. As for my pen-pals…With me, a friend made is a friend never lost. I’m not one to forget or dismiss you once I get released from prison. I’m genuine; I hold dear my pen-pals. To have the courage to reach out to me shows a lot about your character. That first step is the hardest step and I applaud you for taking it. I thank you, in the most sincere way. On another note, I’m not into lying so I try not to associate myself with those kinds of people. Honesty is key to any companionship. Hopefully, this helps you better understand who I am.
